The Spiderman pushup

This pushup variation gives you a superhero’s body without having to wear the silly costume. What makes the Spiderman pushup more difficult than the traditional pushup is that you generate more resistance due to the added weight you add to one side. Start from a pushup position with your arms slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and control your descent. When you’re at the lowest position of your pushup, move one leg forward and bring your knee forward toward your elbow. The movement causes your core to engage and maintain balance, giving your pecs, arms, shoulders and abs a harder workout. As a bonus, the leg movement mimics a lower ab crunch, giving your abs an extra workout.
